(Formula fed baby) - Our newborn is usually changed and then fed in the middle of the night but recently as they’re drinking more, they tend to then need changing a second time post feed as we can hear them 💩 half way through. We’ve found changing them the second time then stops them going down after the feed. Is there anything we can do to help them go down after? What do others doing in this case? Would you feed more?

First 8 or so weeks are like that unfortunately, poo all the time. Mine poo’d at every nappy change! Now he just poo’s 2-3 times during the day and not at all through the night

Would feeding straight away and then doing one change help?
I breastfeed, but tend to feed from one side, change nappy, then feed from the other side to help her drift back off after the nappy change ☺️
Maybe splitting the bottle half and half either side of one nappy change? 💚

I was going to suggest split the bottle In half. We have the same issue with my little boy so I started splitting and he seems to be able to go sleep after even if it’s just 30ml left
